1. Take a minute to introduce yourself to the readers who might not be familiar with you or your production.
Peace to everyone reading. My name is Beatnick Dee. First and foremost I’m a producer, also a record collector and dealer, sometimes Dj, journalist & interviewer and Rep for Tres Records. Some of my production credits include Co$$, Blu, Sene, Joe Scudda, The Regiment and more.
Alkota: You recently moved back to Cali (LA specifically) from the UK to be closer to the music scene and pursue your passion for music as a career.2. Can you share some of your experiences in making such a big leap?
Creatively and career wise, LA is where I want to be. I spent 2 months in here last year, met some great people and had a lot of fun. It had been an idea to move to Cali at some point. The trip went better than expected and cemented my idea, so I ran with it. I’m very lucky because I was born in San Francisco, so I have dual nationality and it wasn’t a hassle to sort out a visa to make the move. I miss friends and family of course but it all boils down to one thing. I believe in my music enough to go where ever I need to be.
It’s like starting all over again, building up a new network, meeting new people and making new friends. Having lived most of my life in south west England, in the heart of the countryside it’s been a huge change. I’ve been fortunate enough to meet some good people, dope producers and rappers and I’m loving LA life overall. Very thankful to be here!
